Tyre reviews Pirelli Scorpion STR. Page 1 578

Handling characteristics in dry conditions are excellent. Good traction and braking efficiency, a stark contrast to the Dunlop SP Sport D3 summer tires that were previously installed. The same applies to wet conditions, I feel less side slip in corners compared to Dunlop summer tires. We even took the car on a skiing holiday, but there wasn't enough snow to actually report on the piloting characteristics in snow. Only when parking in deep snow and subsequently driving out I can say that there are no traction problems whatsoever

I chose these tyres as they were the standard fitment on my RAV 4, as a more expensive soft roader, I was looking for a more even tread wear than the OE Bridgestone Duelers which seem to look knackered after only 10,000 miles. No surprise, as they are a more dual purpose tyre. What did surprise me was the evenness of the tread wear, the last set was changed with a even 2mm on the right through the tread

I bought them in autumn of 2011 for my NISSAN X-TREIL. They performed very well in winter conditions, both on wet and snowy roads. One significant drawback - they significantly increased the noise in the cabin. It was very quiet with DUNLOP.

Came with the car from the factory. Summer tire, of course, not all-season. M+S to mislead no one. Quite noisy, strong rolling resistance, increases fuel consumption, stiff. Suitable as a summer tire for a crossover that occasionally goes on a dirt road.

Generally satisfied. Noisy, average wear resistance.

Got a car on those tires. Hard to say something positive except that it holds well on a wet road and doesn't make much noise. It pulls badly by the sides, off-road qualities are zero. Maybe these tires aren't meant for such a heavy car as mine, but for the owner of some crossover for driving on asphalt they would be perfect.

Excellent tire.
It is almost silent on asphalt and holds the road great.
There is no aquaplaning up to 100 km/h - exactly.
On a gravel road - not bad either.
Off-road qualities - weak.
There is one minus - while new, it picks up and holds small pebbles well, respectively - it clangs loudly.
I cannot evaluate winter qualities - I have not driven

Received them in time for the worst winter in years, icy and snowy conditions on most roads, even the main ones! The tyres performed perfectly, rarely had to engage 4WD as the traction and tread did the job well enough.

Excellent tires, driven on them almost a year. Summer on asphalt and small off-road - good. Winter on snow and ice behave normally, above my expectations. Conclusion: very good for all-season tires.

The tires are excellent, it's a pity they've been discontinued
